Chapter 83: Some people do not deserve to be saved

“I told you, Princess Nala would definitely agree, she is the Saintress of Salvation after all”

Such remarks, ever since Nala made her choice, Rhys had heard these same words countless times.

Looking at the smiles on those people’s faces, Rhys felt disgusted like never before.

After taking over command from Nala and finishing the reclamation war, the name of Marshal Rhys had become renowned. In fact, under the propaganda of some people with ulterior motives, his role in the war had been excessively exaggerated, allowing him to even obtain a greater peerage than before. At a glance, he was simply the winner in life.

“These people are not worth saving” recalling what they had been doing these past days, Rhys suddenly felt that despite gaining prestige, status, and power, he had never been redeemed. He was still walking in darkness.

If he chose to plunge further into the darkness, then in the next few decades, regardless if Seth the First managed to keep his throne or not, regardless if the Church of Divine Grace could spread into Royas or not, Rhys would be able to obtain what others could only dream of for their entire lives. He would become one of the pillars of power within Interkam, wealth, title, reputation, women, all of these would be within his arm’s reach.

“Unfortunately, Nala is still too straightforward” Rhys took out the book of monsters and turned over its pages: “Without my help, she is only a little girl after all. I walk in the darkness, but what I pursue is that pure light”

He turned to the last page of the book of monsters. Depicted here was a terrifyingly powerful monster, it had no form, it was the plague that most people would dread. Once unleashed, it could cause the death of an entire city, or perhaps an entire nation, if left unchecked.

Rhys cut his hand and dripped his blood onto the page to activate the book, then placed it inside a secret room, placed enough meat inside to act as a hotbed for the monster, and sealed it shut.

As an aristocrat, most people could not intrude his manor without his permission. In other words, as long as he lived, this secret room would never be opened. However, if he were to not return from this trip, then those greedy and foolish people would surely not stay their hands from his treasures.

Rhys got onto a carriage and looked around at the crowd of people outside celebrating the arrival of peace. He smirked, thinking to himself:

Pray, all of you, pray that nothing happens to Nala, otherwise, you people aren’t worthy of her salvation.

…

〖 When Eldridge and Nala meet, the Dragonscale Sword will finally play its part〗 Negary quietly waited.

Since a long time ago, after Granny Seal’e took refuge with him, he had been planning this matter. In this world, he had reached his limit. Because of the limitations of this world, and the limitations of himself, he couldn’t advance any further.

And so, what he needed to do was find a way out of this world. Negary had ordered someone to use the True Spirit Soul Transmigration method he obtained from the otherworldly soul all those years ago, but after the person’s soul retracted into his True Spirit, he died.

And similar to a normal person’s death, the True Spirit simply reincarnated without transmigrating to another world. Through this experiment, Negary realized that the method he obtained wasn’t necessarily incorrect, simply that he was missing something.

For example, the coordinates of other worlds. Without a coordinate and a way to lock-on to that coordinate, the so-called True Spirit Transmigration was nothing but a direct shortcut to reincarnation.

Therefore, if he wanted to leave this dilapidated world, he had to think of other ways. For example, in ancient times, how did the New Deity and Progenitor Dragon leave this world? They originally left with their entire race, leaving only a few members who weren’t willing to leave.

And so, before anything else, the New Deity and Progenitor Dragon must have obtained the coordinates of another world, that was why they were able to leave. The foresight of Granny Seal’e had also confirmed this.

Naturally, before confirming whether or not he could borrow those previous channels to leave this world, it was essential that the Black Abyss must be prevented from coming back. Otherwise, being shrouded by the Black Abyss, this entire world would change, even Negary himself wasn’t sure what he would become after being covered by the Black Abyss.

This was unacceptable to Negary, so someone must inherit that ancient mission and relink the flames, preventing the arrival of the Black Abyss. However, not just anyone could qualify for this task.

In the first place, why did both the New Deity and Progenitor Dragon choose to leave?

They were originally creatures born from the Black Abyss, whose nature was changed by the flames. There was simply no better fuel to prolong the flame than the three original Gods who came from the first flame.

However, besides the Giant who chose to first take up that responsibility, the New Deity and Progenitor Dragon both decided not to return to the Black Abyss, nor to prolong the flames, but to escape.

Strictly speaking, if the New Deity and Progenitor Dragon had chosen to take up their responsibility, there wouldn’t be so much trouble like there currently was. But unfortunately, they both chose to escape. The Last God took the New Deity’s place as fuel for the flame, but in the end, he was only a substitute, incomparable to the authentic one.

That was why today, this world’s level of supernatural power had fallen to its current pathetic state, and why the flames were about to die out again. And Eldridge, who had acquired the power of the Last God, was bound by the same mission to become a new substitute.

That was the case until Nala showed up. Since her Dragon’s blood had awakened, she barely had the qualifications to replace the Progenitor Dragon. Because she was still too weak for the job, Negary gave her the Dragonscale sword.

That sword was an extremely precious treasure for anyone with the Dragon Bloodline. A person with Dragon’s blood who came into contact with this sword for a long period of time was more likely to awaken their bloodline. For Nala, the role of this sword was to make it so that Nala would gradually grow closer to becoming a true dragon.

…

“Before signing the peace treaty, I ask that her excellency the Princess to come with me to meet someone” the emissary of Royas, who was also an acquaintance of Nala, was the aging Smick Lancher, who firmly declared that as he held the peace treaty in his hands: “If the Princess isn’t willing to, then the Kingdom of Royas can only wage war once again”

So it’s finally here?

Behind Nala, the knights who followed Nala here all had serious expressions on their faces. The Royas Kingdom was willing to give up so many benefits, even risk starting another war, just to get Nala to arrive at the border, surely for a scheme of some kind. If Royas were to try and use this matter to force Nala to bend to their every will, these knights would be the first to retaliate.

“Please don’t misunderstand, we don’t have any intention of hurting her excellency the Princess” Smick had a bitter look on his face: “At this point, it is already impossible for us to hurt her excellency in any way”

“His Majesty, King Eldridge wants to see you” Smick said “His Majesty is not too far from here, and you can bring your knights with you”

“Our ambitions were certainly part of the reason why the Royal Kingdom first started the war, but now it is nothing more than a last resort. His Majesty will inform you of the hidden details” Smick placed his hand on his heart and declared: “In the name of the [School of Light] and as the head of the Lancher family, I swear that her excellency the Princess will not be harmed during this trip”

Nala stared closely at Smick in front of her, then finally nodded.
